Rush G. Miller, the University of Pittsburgh’s librarian, gave a speech this afternoon at the American Library Association conference about how libraries must embrace technology and constantly change to meet patrons’ needs.
Mr. Miller, who holds a doctorate in medieval English history, said that when he came to Pittsburgh, in 1994, he concluded that the library was a feudal society.
“I said, Whoa, I haven’t seen this since I studied it,” he said, as the audience broke out laughing. “You had kings and lords and people surrounded by moats.” —Andrea L. Foster
